As far as I am concerned we have to treat Privacy International's refusal to even discuss the subject in the same way that we treat the government's and the police's. It stinks of corruption especially as senior figures at Privacy International have taken money from Phorm for services rendered.

It's time to stop making excuses for them and I couldn't give a damn about who is friends with Simon Davies or what a nice chap he is in private. In terms of this issue Privacy International is doing harm to our side of the debate by their silence. They are effectively saying that there is no threat to privacy - if there was they'd be involved.

Privacy International is registered in the UK as a non-profit private limited company no. 4354366. If they are now selling their approval to companies like Phorm then that status should be questioned.
